Case :
This image is of a damaged engine block of a Maruti Zen 1999 Model. Under body of the car was hit by some object at high speed damaging the block causing an oil leak and resulting in a seized engine. Mistake made here was that the car was driven for half a km after the accident. Insurance company rejected the claim for the half engine stating it to be as a consequential loss, only paid 50% liability on the block, oil filter and towing charges.
Lesson :
- Turn off the engine and check the under body of your car for any oil drip when you feel you have hit a MAJOR bump.
- Turn off the engine in case of a glowing oil indicator on the display panel.
